You're doing fine with list etiquette. Reply-All works best. The file you opened is a backup from October 28, 2025. How do I know this? Check out <https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_What_are_all_these_.gnucash_and_.log_files_filling_up_my_directory.3F> where you'll see that a file that has that long number embedded in it is actually a dated backup copy.
Find the one in your folder that *doesn't* have those numbers, and you'll find your current details. David T.
